Notes:
  • “In 1961 the horseshoe-shaped tournament stadium, officially named the Rose Bowl in 1923, got its own floral mascot, ‘Rose Bowl’. Appropriately, the scarlet hybrid tea’s parents were red-blooded ‘Mardi Gras’ (a link to the pre-Lenten carnival tradition of the Bataille de Fleurs) and ‘Chrysler Imperial’ (the official car for Tournament of Rose Parade dignitaries since the 1950s).” --- Brenner & Scanniello, A Rose by Any Name, page 271.

  • ‘Moondance’, ‘Always and Forever’, ‘Veterans’ Honor’, ‘Crescendo’, ‘Pope John Paul II’ are  some of Dr. Keith Zary’s other roses.
